South Point linebacker Daishon Davis on Monday was named to the Associated Press all-state prep football team.

The 6-foot, 210-pound junior was one of four linebackers chosen for the team in balloting by 17 statewide media members. Davis tied for third among the linebackers with five votes.

Davis, the Big South 3A Conference defensive player of the year, recorded an area-high 199 tackles (117 solo) as South Point finished with a 12-1 record, won the Big South title and reached the third round of the 3AA state playoffs.

Davis was the only area player selected for the 28-player team, which included a 12-player offense, a 12-player defense and four special teams players.

The coach of the year will be announced Tuesday and the player of the year Wednesday.

Matthews Butler followed its state championship with a four-player showing on the all-state team. Receiver Uriah LeMay, linebackers Peter Kalambayi and Sean Wiggins, and defensive back Channing Stribling represented the Class 4AA champions, marking the second time in four seasons that Butler had four players on the AP team.

The Butler quartet helped the Bulldogs go 15-0 and win a third North Carolina High School Athletic Association championship in four seasons. Butler closed the year with a 56-28 win against Fayetteville Britt in the 4AA final.

Kalambayi was one of two players to make the AP team for the second straight season, joining Charlotte Vance linebacker Larenz Bryant.

Three other schools had a pair of all-state picks. Davidson Day had quarterback Will Grier and offensive lineman Schuyler Coleman. Charlotte Mallard Creek had receiver Marquez North and tight end Jaylen Samuels. Richmond County had offensive lineman Tyrone Crowder and defensive lineman Devante Covington.
